The imbalance of the male to female ratio
In the world today, the statistics show that there are 33 million more men than women. The purpose of this study was to find out where in the world these differences exist.
In the world today, the statistics show that there are 33 million more men than women. The purpose of this study was to find out where in the world these differences exist (only countries with a population of over 500,000 were taken into account).
The male to female ratios vary quite significantly throughout the world. Despite the fact that men outnumber women, there are a large number of countries in which the females outnumber the male population, particularly in Europe. One of the most interesting findings of the study was that the only European country to have more males than females amongst its populace is Turkey.
It is also interesting to note that out of the top ten countries in which women outnumber men, eight of these are former Soviet Republics.
In Middle Eastern countries there is a distinct pattern of men outnumbering women. Eight out of the top ten countries in which males outnumber females are located in the Middle East. The reason for this is said to be due to the massive influx of foreign males from South Asia who come to work in these Middle Eastern countries. The extreme case of this is found in the United Arab Emirates where men now outnumber women by a massive 2.14 to 1.

Congratulations on your great and curious research. Looking at your excellent statistics the first comment that comes to my mind are of two kinds diametrically opposite in some ways. The explanation I propose for the above seemingly contradictory collection of data are twofold. In the first case where the male/female ratio imbalance is favorable to the females I would say that in the countries of the ex-Soviet empire, men die early because of astonishing rates of alcoholism and very poor sanitation. This has been corroborated by a very large body of information coming from Eastern Europe and the ex-Soviet Union. In the second case where the male/female ratio imbalance is favorable to the males I cannot help but have to say that the Arab and muslim countries in general are afflicted by an incredibly harsh lifestyle especially for women who are despised, deprecated, infibulated and tormented in all kind of ways only a satanist mind would imagine. The Arab cultures (islamo-fascism in other words) are a mysogynist nightmare come true. Women cannot survive in an environment that denies their very existence.

The Census and Statistics Department of the Hong Kong Government published a report in July 2007 that, by the year 2036, the gender ratio in Hong Kong’s population will be 703 males to 1000 females. The latest current figures are 9xx males to 1000 females (for year 2006). Just FYI …

you can thank WW1 and WW2 for those european numbers. Fact is, war kills men. Look at germany after WW2, german women were writing letters to the wives of American solders asking permission to sleep with them so they could repopulate the country.

I do agree with you, in Islamic countries male are dominant, not due to Islam, because of culture and if you read the research again and pay attention, the male to female ratio is due to the temporary worker in Middle East. It has nothing to do with Islam you F*%# Racist.

Countries that have traditionally placed all value on sons and none on daughters have taken advantage of both modern technology (ultrasound to determine the sex of a foetus, followed by abortion if the foetus is female) and traditional methods: infanticide and neglect, to reduce the number of daughters in their families. India and China are two countries which are experiencing significant population imbalances as a result, and China is already looking ahead to a shortage of women available for the men to marry.
Unfortunately, it appears as if the imbalance will very likely not work in women’s favor; instead of their being valued, finally, as human beings, it appears as if they will be valued – as a saleable commodity.

Actually the bigger and more important question here would be the male to female ratio of those of child bearing wears.
I know in Western and Industrialized nations, women live considerably longer than men. While elsewhere the opposite is true.

hey gents,
i don’t think that this study is reflecting the reality, it is only used to show that arab and muslims are very bad with women, but this is not the reality. all the arabic country are mentioned are Oil and Gas country and must of there people are not educated so they ask for worker from india and china. these two countries they have serious problem with girls baby in their religion and belives which cause that they have alot of men and most of them are looking for work in near area which is the Gulf and arabic countries

Excellent compilation of data! In the first instance, women do live longer than men. This is true in most countries, as a general rule.
As you have rightly pointed out in your survey – shoddy Islamic regimes affect the natural course of events through bestial behaviour.
That is the true nature of Islam and its bleeding followers.

I think this study represents male/female distribution with respect to their existance , but not citizenship.
What Islam has to do with this?????????????????????
Inherent hatred inside you mean one thing, which is you are brain washed.I DON’T BLAME YOU FOR THAT. Do not fool yourself and believe what international Zionist biased media dictate. They did a good job (damage) in that.
Islam is innocent of these charges. God made religion to guide humanity. Since God is in control of the universe and this is it. Human beings must therefore follow and obey His commands and instructions strictly and faithfully, that is If you believe in God. As for the non-believers God let them live , but like beasts. They will live, eat, drink, work, sleep, make love, get drunk (intoxicated), enjoy their lust, make money, follow their desires, ………., then DIE. Are they ready to face Him when He brings them back? What would they say to Him about how they used and spent their life? Where are they going to hide? They will be held accountable of what they did. Then they either pass or fail the Ultimate Exam. Then go to Paradise with GOD or Hell with SATAN FOREVER. So they better be prepared for it. Trust me it will happen whether you beleive it or not. It is a matter of time. I wish everyone abide to GOD’s orders in order to be safe. I think you should do some search about ISLAM and learn about it. At least you can rely on yourself but not on what you see, hear, or read from the biased anti ISLAM mass media.
I wish you all good luck.

Well I am reading and reading and I don’t see one mention of the fact that God creates how he wills. If God wants more females than males or vice versa then that is God’s will. And again, what dose religion have to do with the world’s population?
Most non-Muslims want to jump on any mention of a Muslim woman being raped or harmed in anyway and will make it sound as if all Muslims are this way. Don’t get me wrong, I strongly disagree with any ill treatment of women anywhere but Muslims aren’t the only one’s doing it. Muslims are just the only ones criticized for doing it. Priest’s all over the world molest little choir boys all the time! But are Christians criticized for their actions like Muslims are criticized for theirs? “NO!”
Do Muslims get together and say “Hey, you know these Christians really are sick people. Their Priest’s go around molesting little boys and Christians think it’s OK. Ah, we are on to something here. Maybe that’s why there are more women in Non-Muslim parts of the world, because their men are busy molesting little choir boys!”
The simple fact is: God creates how he wants to create. The world male/female ratio has nothing to do with religion or Science. It all has to do with the will of God.

why did even this turn to a debate between Christian and Islam believes?
Though it is good to question and doubt, but do it in a direction of history and logic, not with blind folds and stick yelling what I believe in is true while hitting everyone else with your (stick) words.
I could suggest a few sites

On March 9, 2009 at 12:40 pm
There may be many factors as to why the population varies so much, in some countries female infanticide could be responsible though not common. I don’t think religion has anything to do with varying female/male ratios – but please also realise criticising Islam or Christianity does not make one racist.

Arr! It’s obvious to me that the homosexuals are breeding which is changing the balance. Pretty soon Islamic transvestites and Christian Lesbians will be fornicating and who knows what we’ll have!
Next we’ll have monkeys breeding with reptiles!
